He seemed excited to see her too, his tail wagging as he straightened up. When she asked if he was okay, he nodded and she beamed at him again, glad that he wasn't going to die or anything like that. He seemed alright with her name so maybe he could understand more than he was letting on...or his concussion could be starting to heal. Who knows? When she kept asking him what he was saying, he only frowned at her and she sighed, even tapping her foot. Why couldn't they seem to understand each other? This was so frustrating! They would have to figure out how to speak to each other. After all, she had no other friends. She knew nothing of other languages. Exodus knew of Latin from his time with the assassins but he didn't want that world for Lucia and Malleah so if it were up to him, she would never learn it. At least when she got closer to him, he would smile at her. He was actually quite cute, but then again, he was also the first boy she'd come across.

Then he said something and she couldn't tell if he was trying to call her Latin like it was her name or something or if he was saying she couldn't speak some kind of Latin. She scowled and shook her head with another sigh.

I'm not Latin, no. So I guess that means I don't speak it. I speak...well, I don't know I speak the language my parents speak, and my sister. Can you teach it to me? If it's not some sort of gibberish you learned from hitting your head, of course."

Her eyes lit up at the thought of learning something new. That would be so fun! She loved learning new things and exploring. Then he said something about common tongue and she tilted her head, blinking a few times.

"Common tongue? I didn't know tongues could be common. Slimy and bumpy, sometimes gritty, yes. But common...that's a new one."

She shrugged it off, accepting it as fact if he said it cause surely he wouldn't lie to her, right? When Myrra spoke, he ducked his head though, almost looking chastised and she felt a protective urge come over her. No, she didn't want to lose her new friend. They had so much to teach one another! She knew Myrra meant no harm but she didn't want him to be chased off either so she moved closer to him, bumping his shoulder playfully. He said his name was Aeon, whispering it in his ear and she couldn't help but giggle.

"Aeon? What kind of name is that?"

She had never heard anything so silly and yet mysterious. She glanced at the boy beside her. It fit him in a way. But the boy suddenly stumbled into her, his cold nose touching her ear and she jumped and stumbled, her eyes widening like saucers but then she started giggling again, unable to control herself. Her eyes danced as she straightened up, even offering her shoulder if he needed to right himself.

"You're so clumsy, you know that? But that's okay. We can still play."

She beamed at him again, almost forgetting that Myrria was there. When he asked if she was mad, she scowled thoughtfully and glanced up at Myrra. She didn't look mad, per say, but she was certainly in protective mode. Lucia shrugged.

"I don't think so. I think she just wants to make sure you're not going to eat me or nothin like that. You're not going to eat me, right?"

She smirked at him teasingly before batting a paw at his shoulder and dancing away with a giggle.
